the protagonist Nick Corey is the type of surrealistically corrupt Southern sheriff that used to be pop all the time as villains in 1970's action movies (a la "Smokey and the Bandit") but he is somehow one of the LEAST horrible people here (for example he is the one white character in the entire book who isn't a raging racist)
this book is many things but never boring

between the "funhouse caricature of small town Southern US" setting and all the main characters' being engaged in marital infidelity of some sort, this scratches a similar itch as some of Russ Meyer's movies to the point I wonder if it was an influence on him
